An interesting beer. Pours a beautiful red-orange with a light grey head. Not a huge amount of smell, a little hoppy. Tasters very strong and thick. Very sweet, yet pretty hoppy at the same time. Definitely taste the brown sugar. Finish is almost a little sour though, lingers. Not amazing, but not bad either. Good winter beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear, caramel with a nice, finger and a half of head that thins but lasts forever. Aroma has bright notes of citrus, pine, resin, pineapple, slight floral, and a bit of brown sugar. Taste is sweeter but balanced. Pine, resin, citrus, pineapple, a touch of alcohol, caramel, bread, brown sugar, and a drawn out aftertaste. Medium-full body with a low-medium carbonation. Very slightly syrupy in the mouth with a smooth texture and a big, dry finish. Overall a really nice beer. Lots of hop flavours mixed with a big of brown sugar. Noticeable pineapple for me.

355 ml bottle. Clear amber with white head. Smell is caramel, candy, dried fruit, grapefruit and pine. Taste is first bitter pine and grepfruit hoppy, then sweet caramel and candi sugar and the finish is again hoppy, but also sweet with dried fruit, alcohol and caramel. Sweet with medium bitterness and medium carbonation.

Aroma is a candy-ish sweetness with softer malts and caramels. You get a hint of booze in here also. The taste is really sweet at first, almost a bit too sweet and after a while the malt character breaks through. My first thoughts go towards a sweeter English barley wine. But in the aftertaste there comes a pretty good punch of alcohol which turns this one into a sipper

Bottle at home. Pour a clear red with a massive off white head that leaves great lacing. Nose is caramel, sweet malty, oranges, hoppy. Flavour is right up there with the style, very sweet sticky malt, bitter hops and a bit of alcohol. Kid of thin on the end, but tasty!
